INGREDIENTS

75g coconut sugar– Biona would be my go to – but you can buy from Holland and Barratt or most health food shops, maybe even some of the supermarkets – *if you want to use normal sugar it also works!

2 large free range eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

3 large over ripe bananas – the bananas must be mostly brown and ripe for fuller flavour. The yellow bananas we love to eat just wont cut it

75g sultanas

200g gluten free self raising flour –Doves Farmis my go-to! You can use Doves farm plain gluten free flour and add a teaspoon of gluten free baking powder if you can’t find the self raising version easily in the supermarket. *Again feel free to use normal self raising flour if you are not bothered about the gluten free aspect.

sprinkling of ground cinnamon

HOW TO…

Preheat oven to 180 degrees/gas mark 4

Grease and line the bottom of a loaf tin

In a small bowl skin and mash the bananas

cream together the dairy free margarine and coconut sugar and add the vanilla

Beat in the eggs one at a time

add the mashed bananas and the sultanas

fold in the flour until blended

spoon into the loaf tin and sprinkle a dusting of cinnamon on top

Bake for 50-60 minutes. The cake will be fairy dark on top and the knife will come out mostly clean but may have some slight residue on the knife because its a fairly moist cake with the bananas.

About me

Affectionately known as Boo to my friends, I opened bake-a-boo in 2006 and after 10 years of making cake dreams come true, hosting fabulous tea parties and releasing a cookbook I have now closed the doors of the tea room. Plagued with severe endometriosis and several food allergies I’m turning all the bad into something good and after being a great patient, I’m now training to hopefully become a ‘great’ nurse! Here I’m sharing my journey, and talking health, my inspirations and life after bake-a-boo…..and of course CAKE! You can take the girl out of the cake shop but you can’t take the cake shop out of the girl so find out here how I can still help you with cakes and treats and parties galore x
